As a designer for many years I have a strong appreciation for quality aesthetics. When it comes to the world of ergonomics, I am greatly appreciative to see that more and more companies in this industry are starting to embrace the importance of both form and function. By definition, an ergonomic product needs to be highly configurable to its users needs. An emphasis on functionality and a base in engineering must come first for a product to be considered truly ergonomic. But that isn’t stopping everyone from considering how to make these types of products that work so well with our bodies truly beautiful to behold.
The Steelcase Leap Chair is an excellent example of commitment to

As a relatively new employee here at The Human Solution, I like many of you out there, am awestruck by the vast array of ergonomic products we have to offer. I have been working at a desk and on a computer for a great many years and had previously thought that I was well aware of the potential pitfalls of an improperly configured workspace. But it wasn’t until I entered into our extensive training program that I realized not only the seriousness and negative implications of improper ergonomics, but also the multitude of options available to personalize your workspace in order to help maintain proper body mechanics. At the Human Solution we are very lucky to have our own in-house

Consumers are faced with goals that sometimes conflict when shopping for an ergonomic chair. Adjustability, aesthetics and price all play a role in choosing the right chair.

The Humanscale Element Light is a sight for sore eyes. We saw this ergonomic desk lamp for the first time in Vegas at the NECE conference last year and were very impressed. Let me shed a little light on the Element desk lamp for you.
First of all, my favorite feature is that you can touch or bump into the lamp without burning yourself; you can literally grab the light itself while it’s on to adjust its position. There’s a series of heat-dispersing metal fins on the Element that keep it cool. Apparently, lights that overheat don’t work as well over time, and they end up doing more harm than good before burning out. Lights will burn a more yellow color, and this can be

As a relative newcomer to the Ergonomic Chair market, I’ve recently been looking at a couple of different chairs to purchase for my home office. After looking at all the different offerings out there, I’ve narrowed it down to two
options, the Humanscale Freedom Chair and the Steelcase Leap Chair. Why these two chairs, aside from the names promoting positive imagery? There are several good reasons.
Steelcase and Humanscale are seen as leaders within the ergonomic chair market. Both companies have won numerous awards both in design, ergonomics and functionality which is a huge plus. I have seen Humanscale Freedom chairs featured on such hit TV shows as “House” and “How I Met
